Dental Implants - Solution to your Missing Teeth

What are dental implants?

Dental Implants are the most preferred tooth replacement option by dentists as well as patients. If you have been wondering about how to replace your missing teeth with dental implants, you need to know about it in detail so that you make a well-informed decision.

Dental implants are small, titanium made posts that replace the roots of missing teeth. They are inserted into your upper or lower jaw, as the case may be, during a minor procedure at the dentist’s office. After the implant has been successfully placed in your jawbone, a totally lifelike new tooth is attached to the titanium post either the same day or after a period of healing.

Can all teeth be replaced by Dental Implants?

Yes, you can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all your teeth with implants. You also will not need one implant per missing tooth, because as few as two implants can support and stabilize a removable denture. And only 4 implants can support a full set of top or bottom teeth comfortably without any issues. Whichever option you choose, it is only you and your dentist who will know that you have dental implants; such is the totality and efficacy of this procedure.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

A dental implant procedure, unlike what many think, is not painful. You may have postoperative discomfort, and this can be very well taken care of with over the counter medications which are non- steroidal, anti-inflammatory in nature, like ibuprofen.

How expensive are dental implants?

At the outset, dental implants are more expensive than other tooth replacement methods like traditional dentures or bridge work. This is balanced by their longevity, which in all likelihood will last you for a lifetime. They offer the best long-term value by far.

How are dental implants cared for?

You need to care for them as you would your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing and also scheduled visits to the dentist. The gum tissues around the implants can get inflamed or infected without good oral hygiene. Thus good care of teeth is paramount to leading a healthy lifestyle.
